+**Example for feeding a file from repo to the `body` tag:**
+
+This example covers following points:
+* Reading a file present on the repo. For example, `release.md` which is placed in root directory of the repo.
+* Modify & push the `release.md` file before triggering this action (create tag for this example) to dynamically change the body of the release.
